Make It Happen

Common Lot Productions creates print and video materials which educate about, and advocate for, the next step for democracy. 
 Policy-making bodies, from local to national, should be composed of willing and able citizens proportional to the population they serve. The use of sortition, random selection, is the only way to insure this.

In order for Common Lot Productions to continue, we must generate an income. Please purchase or donate.

Many respond “Great idea, but it’ll never happen”.
 Please help prove them wrong.
